Chapter 778: Getting Angry
He Fei really did not understand how their trains of thought worked. Clearly, everyone is well aware of how Ah Ming’s bar and the racing club were passed on to Zi Yi. Yet, they still dared to say such words now.
He felt somewhat annoyed and simply walked away.
However, the moment he walked away, the Ouyang Family’s young ladies made eye contact with each other, and shortly after, Ouyang Hui followed him.
He Fei did not head to the toilet but instead, he sat down in a secluded corner of the courtyard.
Today was New Year’s Eve.
He suddenly thought of the noisy scene where everyone had gathered together to play all night in the previous years.
It seemed like he was unable to return to those days anymore.
He did not know how long had passed when he heard someone’s voice.
“Brother Fei. As expected, you’re hiding here.”
The sudden voice interrupted He Fei’s train of thought. He turned around and saw Ouyang Hui coming over with two drinks.
The Ouyang Family’s younger generation had soft-looking appearances, but deep down in their bones, their thoughts were all very extreme.
“Brother Fei, what are you doing sitting here alone?”
Ouyang Hui walked over and stood in front of him.
He Fei lowered his eyes and said, “Nothing much. I just wanted to come out and have some air.”
“I know. You must be thinking of the situation in the He Family.”
He Fei looked at Ouyang Hui.
She passed one of the glasses to him and he took it from her.
Ouyang Hui sat next to him and her tone of voice contained a hint of sadness. “When you were abroad last year and did not return, I remember Brother Ming was the one who went to pull you back home. We would often set off fireworks by the sea every year and head to the bar to play all night. Back then, you and Brother Ming were so spirited and even bet against each other to see who would become the successful one.”
Speaking of this, she toasted the glass of alcohol in He Fei’s hand and drank it before she continued to talk. “Who would have imagined that Brother Ming would…”
He Fei felt even more upset when he heard her and he finished the entire glass of alcohol.
Ouyang Hui saw how he drank the whole glass of alcohol and an indiscernible smile curved on her lips. She then continued to say, “Brother Ming called back home for the last time shortly after he arrived at the Bermuda Triangle. He said that he would make billions by then and when he made the money, he would enter the automobile industry and develop the most powerful racing car.”
He Fei quietly listened to Ouyang Hui and he did not know how long she had talked for. When He Fei suddenly felt thirsty and his mind became groggy, he finally noticed something was wrong.
He was angry and anxious as he looked at Ouyang Hui with reddened eyes. “Little Hui, what did you put in the alcohol?”
Ouyang Hui saw him gasping for air and approached him.
A faint scent of perfume entered his nose and He Fei swallowed his saliva. The blood in his body had also started to boil.
Ouyang Hui raised her hand and touched his cheeks.
He Fei pushed her hand away with great restraint.
He stood up with the intention to walk away.
However, the moment he took two steps forward, a soft curve clung to his back, and shortly after, Ouyang Hui’s soft voice sounded. “Brother Fei, don’t go.”
He Fei looked at the white arm hugging his waist and took a deep breath as he said, “Let go.”
“No…” Ouyang Hui rubbed her body against him. “Brother Fei, the He Family will be uniting with us through marriage. I like you and I don’t want to marry other people from your family. Let’s get married. After our marriage, we’ll deal with your Uncle together.”
“No-”
“Brother Fei, don’t you want to avenge your father?”
When one hand reached into his clothes, the last string of restraint inside He Fei broke.
…
Lu Family’s main residence.
The New Year’s Eve reunion dinner in the main residence started at around 4 p.m.
Patriarch Lu sat there and looked at the table full of dishes. He was feeling upset deep down inside.
Just then, Lu Ming picked up a dish for him and said, “Grandfather, have some vegetables.”
Patriarch Lu looked at Lu Ming and opened his mouth. He originally planned to respond, but when he tried to talk, he could only make the ‘ah’ sound. In the end, he got so angry that he was no longer in the mood.
The others looked at his expression and remained silent.
Lu Ming wanted to ease the atmosphere and so, he said, “Grandfather, I’ll accompany you to do some shooting after dinner. My instructor has recently taught us several different ways of shooting a gun and you can help me take a look to see if my posture is correct, okay?”
When Patriarch Lu was about to nod, the Third Madam said, “Little Ming, your Grandfather can’t go shooting. His body is unable to take it.”
Patriarch Lu’s expression instantly turned sour.
Just then, Lu Jianlin’s phone rang.
He took it out and looked at the Caller ID. It was from Mrs. Lu and he subconsciously answered it.
The phone he was using right now was an old model. Even if the loudspeaker mode was not turned on, the sound was still very loud.
Mrs. Lu’s joyous voice immediately sounded from the phone. “Jianlin, we will be going to watch some fireworks after dinner. Yiyi said that she has designed several different types of fireworks and they will definitely be an amazing sight. Meet us directly at Bin Jiang Road after you’re done with the dinner.”
While Lu Jianlin was listening, his gaze had swept across the table of people staring at him. In particular, Patriarch Lu’s face was as thunderous as a storm.
Lu Jianlin had no choice but to end the call early as he said, “We are having dinner right now, I’ll be hanging up first.”
He hung up the phone immediately afterwards.
After he had done so, he immediately felt something wrong with the current atmosphere.
Patriarch Lu stared at him with burning anger in his eyes. Just then, he pointed to the door. “Ah!”
It meant for him to get lost.
Lu Jianlin’s expression turned solemn.
Even the insensitive Third Master Lu had understood what his Father was trying to say. He tried to ease the atmosphere as he said, “Father, don’t be angry. Second Brother would be going back after having reunion dinner with us either way, as he doesn’t stay here.”
The moment he brought that up, Patriarch Lu got even angrier.
He slammed the chopsticks on the table, stood up, and left.
Looking at Patriarch Lu who still had such a temper, Lu Jianlin’s expression did not look good either. He suddenly spoke up.
“Father, you still have such a big temper even until now. Are you determined not to recover? Elder Hu was angered by you and left. To be honest, we didn’t tell you about this, but the other doctors are unable to cure your illness at all. If you like staying this way, continue acting like this.”
When everyone heard how Lu Jianlin spoke to Patriarch Lu without any filter, they were all shocked.
Even Patriarch Lu who was about to walk to the door was also shocked.
He suddenly turned around. “Ah- ah- ah…”
Just as he wanted to flare up, his head ached so much that he stumbled and was about to fall.
Eldest Master Lu and Third Master Lu quickly dashed over to support him.
Eldest Master Lu shouted at Lu Jianlin, “Second Brother, why are you saying this?”
Lu Jianlin remained seated and turned to Eldest Master Lu. “Father hasn’t been able to see the reality. The reason why Elder Hu could treat him was because Yiyi had taught him the treatment method. The reason why she had revealed the treatment method was for Jingye’s sake.
“If you could find someone else to treat Father, I wouldn’t be saying anything either, right? But the current truth is that other than Elder Hu, all the other doctors are helpless with Father’s illness. And yet, Elder Hu left in anger because of him.”
